Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

The point of Eternal September is that it happens all the time, so when was that?

Kind of - it doesn't happen "all" the time; it has a beginning, but no end.

If you consider it's the influx of new users, then yes, it does happen all the time. Do you have a different definition?

What's "eternal" in "Eternal September" is not the influx of new users, but rather the disruption of the social norms caused by a huge and sudden influx of new users.

That disruption started in 1993, and never ended. So it had a beginning but no end as of yet.
